Yes, it's a very big problem. Violence and alcohol from an early age, coming from bad/poor households, its pretty bad. It's not like gangs, more just a large uneducated violent subculture. I avoid them if I can, if you don't look like one of them, you are pretty much garenteed some abuse, verbal at best, physical at worst. I've been chased with rocks before just because I looked like a goth, cause I my hair is dyed red.

Our house is also under frequent rock attack because we are gay. Calling the police just aggrevates it because its against some sort of community code, they look out for each other. It's not just kids though, this attitude can go with them their entire lives.

Yeah, I remember when the London riots happened. Reddit was very much on their side, they saw it as some sort of revolution, anarchy in the UK. The truth (which they refused to listen to or believe) was that the riots were just robbing and fighting, a group of young people with no conscious doing what they do in their local communities, but in a large scale. People like them were going to London just to join in.

It wasn't a revolution, just a very sad look at what our country has done to young people and the poor.

(Since we are just getting through elections, I should mention that the first bit is about Obama running for President in 2008 while he was a Senator. Not trying to stir anything up - it's just a funny bit that could be about anyone who's in one office and trying to get elected to a better one.)

Sorry to break it to you Agent D, but ladies piss, poop, burp, fart, puke, sweat etc. along with profusely bleeding chunky, often malodorous, blood out of their crotches every month. Sometimes they do all of the above in one night. And we're not just talking a sorority girl binging on pizza and beer at a rave one night, we're talking days in a row of all of the above during pregnancy too.

Yes, women are icky and the cooties are real!

being a woman, you should know!

Not any more. Since Kryovax broke up back in July, I'm no longer the chick in the band any more. The band I play with now has a female singer (who looks like Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones.) Kryovax remains the only band I'll ever change my gender for. Nobody else.

Star, that's actually really brutal. I give you credit for, what seems like for the most, putting a pretty good face despite of it. I'm sorry to hear that.

Hannibal Burress is so awesome. I listen to him at least once a week, often before bedtime (I laugh myself to sleep ... it's better than crying oneself to sleep!)

"The Aokigahara Forest is the most popular site for suicides in Japan. After the novel Kuroi Jukai was published, in which a young lover commits suicide in the forest, people started taking their own lives there at a rate of 50 to 100 deaths a year. The site holds so many bodies that the Yakuza pays homeless people to sneak into the forest and rob the corpses. The authorities sweep for bodies only on an annual basis, as the forest sits at the base of Mt. Fuji and is too dense to patrol more frequently."
